Inside Job

Alex Hirsch & Alisha Brophy · United States of America · English

A bonkers adult cartoon that asks, what if the Deep State was real?

Our take by Renee Cuisia

What if the Deep State was real and every conspiracy theory you laughed off was true? There is such a thing as Area 51, John F. Kennedy was killed by the CIA, and somewhere out there, Tupac Shakur is still alive. If you added even more ridiculous theories like reptile people existing underground and Avril Lavigne being a clone, then you’d have Inside Job, a bonkers adult animated sitcom that hails from some of the people behind Gravity Falls and Bojack Horseman.

Inside Job is crazy and creative, with each episode delving into a different “theory,” but it also has room for character introspection and development. Lizzy Caplan lends her voice to the lead Reagan Ridley, a scientist and manager who is ambitious but difficult, genius but always tired. The show does well to show her and her team’s growth in a show otherwise jam-packed with (admittedly hilarious) insanity.

What happens

For employees of the Deep State, conspiracies aren't just theories — they're fact. And keeping them a secret is a full-time job.
